Solo Travel for Women - need a helping hand?

Girl about the Globe is a website designed to make solo travel for women accessible, fun and safe. It celebrates the increase in women travelling alone and those seeking more meaningful experiences to gain a better understanding of the world.

Founded by Lisa Imogen Eldridge, a travel journalist and self-confessed travel addict. Her background in the travel industry fuelled her passion to see the world and since the age of 21 she has travelled extensively as a solo traveller, living and working in numerous countries.

Over the last seventeen years she’s reached her goal of visiting 100 countries and over 60 of these solo. Lisa’s mission is to get as many women on the road as possible and to show that solo travel really isn’t that scary.

You can use Girl about the Globe for pre-planning your trip, for tips and inspiration when you’re abroad or for something that little bit different. They have everything you ever need to know about solo travel for women covered in their online guide – you can even download a free ebook.
